Five Painful Places to Get a Tattoo

Hey...we all have different tastes and preferences. You can't say I am judging someone if I am turned off by them because they look extremely unhealthy. Nobody can help what they are, and are not, attracted to. So, if a fat chick or dude wants to let it hang out...then go for it, but don't be surprised if it makes me throw-up in my mouth a little. Good fortune.

I will become everything I want to become in life, no matter what an arrogant *** has to say about that. The way in which I choose to use the english language will not lead me to become unsuccessful in the work place. I know what they don't teach in school which is respect and openmindedness which you know nothing about, obviously. I am probably a much better worker than you could ever be because of the skills and traits I possess. You come off as an uneducated idiot when you speak, and the fact that you are arguing with an 18 year old girl in the middle of the day really makes it apparant you have no life.

Oh, please. I could run circles around you I am sure. What kind of profession must you be holding if you're sitting on a computer arguing with an 18 year old about a tattoo issue? You argue and act like my 10 year old nephew. Obviously your parents never taught you a little thing called respect. Tattoo's do not make people fail in life and either will my usage of the English language in the way in which I use it.

You're dumb. I can't believe some all of the generalizations I am reading in here. I don't even want to waste my time replying to all of the idiots in here, but your stupiditiy struck a chord with me. I am a 28 year old woman. I have full sleeves, my chest done, the tops of my feet, both outside ankles, my stomach, my ribs, my back and my lower abdomen tattooed. Most of the people I run into on a daily basis, the people at my work (which is in an office in silicon valley making more money than you can ever hope to see in your life) people at my church or in my choir or even some people in my family don't know I have tattoos. I don't show them off in public, I keep them covered nearly all the time because I didn't get them for YOU or for anyone else out there to enjoy or to use as tools to judge me so you can make yourself feel better about what a loser you are. Everyone who gets a tattoo has a different reason for doing so. We don't judge you for not having them, so why do you feel it is okay for you to judge us?
And incidently, for all you holy rollers in here that say God doesn't want us to have tattoos, there is only one passage in the bible that states that and it's in Leviticus and in that same passage God also says he doesn't want anyone cutting their hair or shaving their beards. So - for all of you men using the bible as a reason to look down on us, better throw out those razors and invest in a turban to hold all that hair up that you're going to be sporting for the rest of your life.

People in general have a responsibility to do what they want with their bodies. Male or female... it's my body, I'll do with it what I want and if you don't like it then so what, it's mine, not yours... you don't hafta like it.

All of my tattoos I have drawn myself, and are a part of who I am. They are an expression of my religion and periods of my life I wish to honor. Think before you speak, how many men and women have had their loved one's names writen on them in honor of the sacrfice they made so you can sit there and be an insensitive b****?

you think the back of the calf is worse than the chest?

Die_schwarze_katze_Melissa, as chance may have it, like you, I, too, happen to be Russian, so the point you are attempting to make is pointless. A major difference is the society we have been brought up in. While you still live in the VERY oppressed Russia, while my family left many, many years ago, I live in a free society where, for the most part, we can do what we want, when we want, where we want. While I won???t go so far as to say that the United States is the best country in the world???especially where freedom is concerned???it is FAR better than Russia is, or ever will be. As for your statement about getting tattoos having to do with ???wanting attention???, maybe it???s time for you to start expanding your very narrow views, and actually learn a few things. If you were to actually take some time and study various cultures from around the world, you would find out that tattoos have been around for at least as long as recorded time, and from all over the world. Islanders from the South Pacific have used tattoos for untold numbers of years to honor the gods, while the Japanese have been receiving tattoos as a form of honor as well???and the same goes for the Aborigines of Australia. If you were to spend some time learning, instead of just shooting off at your mouth about what you have no knowledge, then you might learn something.

As for modern tattoos, again, they don???t (typically) have anything to do with ???wanting attention???, but do have to do with personal things about the person. Some people get tattoos to honor people from their lives, such as their parents, or another loved one, who may have passed away. Other???s get tattoos to reflect something about who they are. Others, still, get tattoos, to reflect something that was a part of their lives, such as the red beret I have tattooed on my right shoulder representing the fact that I was a member of the Army???s 82nd Airborne Division. Now, having been informed of this, I would suggest that, before you continue putting people down for getting tattoos, and putting down what YOU seem to believe the purpose of these tattoos are, that you learn before further opening your mouth. The comments you have made about tattoos would be comparable to me walking into a private airport and telling them I wanted to rent a small plane???something I have absolutely no training to fly, for it is something I have never studied. In other words, learn about that which you speak before you speak of it.

So, you sat for 9 different 11 hour sessions for your back. Either your math is off...or you have some kind of super power that makes you resistant to pain. More power to you. Good fortune.
